Texas Super Sweet (1015Y) Onion
One of the most popular onions in the country, yellow 1015Y gets sweeter as the bulb gets larger. A short-day variety, this Texas Super Sweet onion grows best in Southern regions. Short-day varieties start bulbing when daylight length reaches 10 to 12 hours. They take about 110 days to mature in the South and just 75 days in the north. The earlier you plant them, the larger they get, but they don't grow as big in the northern states. Mature 1015Y onions store for up to two months. Space plants 4-5 inches apart in rows 18 inches apart for conventional gardening, or 6-8 inches apart in intensive gardens.
